Trimburg Castle Live Cam

Medieval Foundations

Perched majestically atop a wooded ridge overlooking the market town of Elfershausen, Trimburg Castle (Burg Trimburg) embodies centuries of Franconian history and medieval architecture. Constructed in the early 12th century by the noble von Trimberg family, the fortress was strategically sited to control the ancient trade routes that threaded through the Sinn Valley and connected the Franconian wine regions with the Thuringian forests. The castle’s hilltop location provided commanding views toward the Rhön Mountains to the north and the Spessart hills to the south, ensuring both early warning of approaching armies and dominance over the surrounding agrarian landscapes.
